Be it known that I, Lnonnno (J. lnjnrds', a citizen of the UnitedSt'ates, 1nd a resident otLos Angeles, in thcfcouiity offLo's Angclesand State of Califin'nia, have invented certain new and useful 1II1]I0\-' 11111tS in Kitchen Sinks, of which the followingisa specification.

My invention relates to kitchen sinks, and

the purpose of my invention is the provision o f a sink having arelatively deep portion or well which serves as a dish pan or receptaclein which dishes cani be washed and drain board upon whichthe dishes,after being washed, can beplaced for scalding and drying. The drainboard constitutes an integral part of the sink and is provided withprotuberances, one protuberance at the junction of the board andreceptacle which serves to prevent sliding of the dishes into thereceptacle, and a group of other protuberances which serve to supportthe dishes in slightly spaced relation to the board so that the drainageof water from the dishes can be effected. Further, the drain board isinclined in the direction of the receptacle and also in oppositedirections to the longitudinal axis of the board to insure drainage ofwater from between the protuber- I will describe only one form of sinkembodying my invention and will then point out the novel featuresthereof in claims.

In the accompanying drawings,

Figure 1 is a view showing in top plan one form of sink embodying myinvention:

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view takenon the line 22 of Figure1;

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 33 of Figure2.

Referring specifically to the drawings, in which similar referencecharacters refer to similar parts, my invention, in its presentembodiment, comprises-a single casting constructed to provide arelatively deep receptacle 15 and a drain board 16. A supportingfiange'l'? is formed on the edgeof the casting, and with the board 16below the flange and the receptacle 15 below the board. The

receptacle 15 is formed with a drain opening 18 spanned by a dependingstrainer 19 and adapted to receive a plug 20.

The drain board 16 is, as clearly shown in Figure 2, inclined towardthe'receptacle 15 7 so that "water deposited on the board i will?gravitate *into the receptacle. The drain, board is alsoinclined--opposite directions transversely from the longitudinal axis o ltheboard (qr from the line 21',(Fi g'- Forthe 'purposeof supportingdish'esfin slightly spaced or 'eleyated relation to] the drain board sothat. the waterc'an drain from the dishes and from theboa'rd,'l providethe board with a'group of transversely extending" protuberances which,in the present instance, are'showna'sribs22 arranged in: spaced relationto each other; and with theirends' in spaced relation to the sides ofthe drain board,

drain from between the so that water can ribs and pass the samedownwardly of the board. This drainage 15 facilitated by virtue of thedouble inclination of the board from the medial line 21.

To prevent the sliding of dishes from the drain board into thereceptacle, the board is also formed with a transverse rib 23 at p thejunction of the board with respect to the receptacle. The ends of this'rib terminate in spaced relation to the sides of, the drain board sothat water' from the board can drain around the opposite ends of the riband downwardly into the receptacle. The space between the group of ribs22 and the rib 23 can be employed for the supporting of dishes of acharacter in which itis unnecessary that they be relation to the boardto sustained in spaced I effect drainage; or

the ribs 22can-be increased in number so as h to traverse the entirelength of the drain slightly elevated position.
